I went to my Great Aunt Ruby's funeral today. I never really knew her, but as the preacher spoke of her, I felt like I did. She was a quiet, no-nonsense type who was not at the forefront of things....she kind of kept off to the side. But she loved God and her family, and did everything to take care of them. I guess I felt that we might have been similar in some ways, which made me wish I had known her. I also enjoyed spending time with the Simpson's. I always feel proud to be a part of such a beautiful, intelligent bunch. And, there's always cousin Norm to put a smile on your face. Great people.

Tonight I was introduced to Settlers of Catan. I REALLY thought I was going to be all awesome and win the first time I ever played, but Nathan RUINED IT for me!!! Way to go. =( I think I will be better next time though, so you all better be ready!
